As soon as the master took Ed to the other room, children started chatting among each other. Some got up and got to the door to try and listen. A few boys started calling Bram 'dunce' now that the teacher was out of earshot, and Bram threw one of the erasures at them, hitting one boy and sending him howling. Some children laughed.
